Locomotive Rhythm is a new music work by Darlington artist Graeme Robinson, inspired by the development of the early north east railway system, particularly The Stockton & Darlington Railway. His talk, titled Inspiration and Lost Routes on Thursday 21 September at 6pm in The Art Gallery, Crown Street Library, will focus on the creation of Locomotive Rhythm, including the making of specially cast locomotive wheels used as percussion instruments, and a live percussion performance from the music work.

This FREE event will also reveal a significant but forgotten element of Darlington’s railway history.
